Why is there momentum for Chip Kelly? College coaches generally don't excel in the NFL.

greg schiano improved team by 3 wins
pete carroll got two playoff berths, including a win
jim harbaugh, #2 seed two years in a row
steve spurrier refused to adjust from his college offense
nick saban treated everyone like a kid and had a bad attitude iirc
chan gailey is in buffalo and lol buffalo they always suck

pretty much the same success rate as coordinators or retreads._________________

I think most people agree Nick Saban is a very good head coach. His personality is just not fit for the pro game. While Chip Kelly wants control, I think it is more in the mold of having input on personnel moves than controlling every single thing. Nick Saban wants just that - total and absolute control. And his personality around a bunch of college kids and then his personality around a bunch of grown men is going to create different results.

But every guy since him has done a very good job (Saban did a fine job as well at least his first year). Schiano took a team that is not very talented in Tampa and had them competing week in and week outs sans this past month and that had a lot to do with Freeman. Carroll and Harbaugh have just been outstanding. I think it is time to look at college coaches to NFL differently.

With that said, I'm still unsure on Chip Kelly but I wouldn't be opposed to it._________________

i'm intrigued by 49rs OC Greg Roman. love the way that offense runs the ball and gets matchups with shifts and personnel. it's kind of a reach. just trying to think outside the box. and he has a history with us already
